You, on the other hand, are a "meat hunter". When someone is on the water as much as you are....they are bound to stumble upon an occasional 'blind sow'. You mentioned that "90% of your "big fish" caught in August are caught on a falling tide. What you failed to mention was ......100% of them are caught on live bait.

I do catch a few pigs on live bait but every one I caught over 7 last year was all on topwater or Plastic...
Year before I caught a bunch on mullet but still lots on Plastic
Two 8's that were caught in my boat one by Darren and one by Mr Mike were both on Plastic
Year before all on Plastic....
I would say 85% of trout I caught at 7lbs or over have been on artifical
